• Cross-Functional Support: Act as the primary execution point for the content and creative teams, ensuring all new assets meet strict SEO and performance standards before going live.

• Proven Experience: 2 years of SEO and digital performance experience, ideally in an agency environment.
• The Tech Stack: Working history with SEMrush/Ahrefs, Google Search Console, and Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
• Performance Focus: Demonstrated experience in Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), keyword acquisition,and A/B testing.
• CMS Fluency: Experience optimizing within WordPress, Shopify, and other major platforms.
• Communication: Strong ability to present data-heavy reports in a clear, narrative-driven format.
• High Ownership: A self-starter who treats client accounts like their own business.
• Colorado-Based: Must be located in Colorado.
• Internet: Must have access to high-bandwidth internet.

• Experience with Google Tag Manager (GTM) for advanced event tracking.
• Familiarity with UX/UI principles as they relate to SEO and conversion.
